Digital Smoker Max Temperature

[g025fo6]

I see a lot of people mention that they can't get the temperature over 200 degrees Fahrenheit on certain models. I want to buy digital smoker but don't know what to look for, this will be my first one. What is the ideal max temperature? I've see 250, 275 & 280

The only electrics I know of that can't get over 200 are the big and little chiefs. As for max temp, my MES goes to 275 and that works well for me. If I need to go higher than that I have a UDS but 275 will get almost every job done.

Thanks, I'm liking the Masterbuilt 30-Inch Black Electric Digital Smoker

I bought one a couple months ago and I'm happy with it. Did a bunch of salmon first thing, have done a couple briskets, butts, belly & bbb, last week smoked 10lbs of sausage. Seems to work well.

I also got an amazin pellet smoker, with mixed results.
